JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): And finally tonight, the first of several conversations with newly elected senators from both parties.
We begin with Angus King from Maine. The 68-year-old former governor also was a wind power company executive. He won the seat held by retiring Republican Senator Olympia Snowe with 53 percent of the vote.
The independent King kept voters guessing which party he'd caucus with. He made up his mind last week, the day before I spoke with him.
Senator-elect, welcome and congratulations. You ran as an independent. Now you have announced that you will caucus with the Democrats.
So, why not remain independent, and why the Democrats?
